You have a shorted membrane keypad.

In some cases, just the membrane can be replaced. This is harder but cheaper. In some models, you have to replace the plastic frame, which comes with a new keypad. This costs more, but it a snap.

But it all depends on the model number.

Feel free to contact me directly (and please remind me of your full model number from the tag on the unit) for more information & help.

We're happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.

My GE Microwave JES1344SK is showing the code -F3- on the digital screen and it beep three times every 30 second, the microwave won't start and any of the fuctions is working I need some help on t

An F3 code means that the touch pad has a short. The touch pad needs to be replaced. If you purchased the microwave new, get your receipt and the unit serial number and contact GE for the repair (1-800-GE-CARES). See http://repair.geappliances.com/ to find a repair center near you. There is a one-year parts and labor warranty on this part. You will need to get the unit to the GE Repair center at your own expense. (I'm assuming that the unit wasn't shorted by a lightning strike or other disaster.)

I hope this helps.

MICROWAVE BUTTONS WILL NOT RESPOND TO ANY ACTION. IS THE MICROWAVE LOCKED.

Hi and welcome to Fixya, I am Kelly. This is usually from the Child lock being activated: 1. Touch STOP/CLEAR.

2. Touch and hold START/ENTER more than 4 seconds.

LOCKED will disappear and two beeps will sound.

Thanks for choosing FixYa, Kelly

What does f3 mean in the window of a GE microwave

Code F3 is for 'shorted touch pad panel'.

However, this is not always the case.

Try the following;
Press (and hold) the Clear/Power button to reset the microwave and turned it off. Press it again to turn the microwave back on. set the clock. If the touch pach panel is okey, your microwave should work with no problem.
